The first re-issue is going to be MDNA isn't it...

The reporting of her being at the concert = "Madonna to headline Glastonbury" is what is tenuous. Like I said, Emily has been to see her in concert before, so this in itself means nothing other than 'concert booker attends gig'. Groundbreaking.

The entire article sounds made up by some underpaid gossip columnist. Emily Eavis has been to see her before so it's a tenuous connection. And no doubt they've probably had a conversation with GuyO at some point about the possibility. But the real clue that they've just taken speculation from forums is the line "And fans are convinced it was a sign that Madonna is top of the organiser's list." 
We'll See.

The first re-issue is going to be MDNA isn't it...

Causing A Commotion was the song & video that made me a stan in the summer of '87. Her energy, her agile body, her sheer POWER comanding the stage were unlike anthing else I'd seen in my 8 little years of life. My DNA was reprogrammed from that point on.
I'd been seduced by the La Isla Bonita video earlier that year, with the candles and the red dress and the Latin rhythms, but to see her perform live like she did in Causing A Commotion was intoxicating.

The "rumours" are just fan-dreams circulating around forums such as this one, that's all he's referring to. There is nothing of any substance to suggest she's doing stadiums next year.

The "rumours" are just fan-dreams circulating around forums such as this one, that's all he's referring to. There is nothing of any substance to suggest she's doing stadiums next year.

So, after seeing her in Copenhagen last Wednesday from the VIP pit and tonight in Tele2 arena I believe the tour is evolving into the most impressive and personal of hers since confessions (except for the somehow abrupt ending)! 
Tele2 arena is more like a smaller stadium and it’s obvious that the size of the catwalks, the details of the costumes and definitely the sound installation is only designed for much smaller venues and work poorly in bigger ones. But there is a huge BUT here:
The public tonight was really enthusiastic to see her after 8 years and one could tell even before the show. Even from the queues it was obvious that a whole new generation rushed to see her this time (as she clearly reached the “surviving legend” status) and she did not disappoint.
While from the Pit the highlight of the show for me has been Erotica and Holiday/Live to tell (I cannot really separate the narration thread between these last two, it’s just too powerful), today Open your heart was really a touching moment with the meticulous recreation of such an iconic video.
During Live to tell tonight I felt she became suddenly very emotional when she turned back to the screens and saw all the pictures of friends she lost to aids, she also held a much longer talk before I will survive. Clearly on the verge to cry many times during the acoustic rendition. With a lot less “repeat after me” kabbalistic mantras than in Copenhagen, and the audience went crazy tonight and it was a pity we didn’t get to sing along with her because of the pre recorded instrumentation.
The 80s hits, Hung Up, Live to tell and even the Papa don’t preach interlude really fired up the energy in the room. Rocco and Mercy James got a huge applause as well. (is she really the only real instrument in the room together with that cello by the way?)
I also totally missed the Music reference before Celebration tonight, did others notice anything changed there tonight? 
Overall, it feels like a well structured show, and on both dates I got the feeling she was almost constantly on stage and enjoying every minute of it and hitting me with hit after hit, and all of that sprinkled with long-due fan favourites. Tonight it also felt the audience was also more keen in enjoying the show as well. Can’t believe I haven’t booked another show! 

As much and all as I would love for her to do a headline slot at Glastonbury, I can't see this particular show working at it. She'd be crucified for not having a band on stage for starters, and I can't go through another savaging for mutha. Also, Glasto is on around midsummer, so it will be bright until 11pm! 
I think there's a reason this show has only been booked into indoor arenas unlike most other previous tours which had a mix of indoor/outdoor depending on the city. The technology wouldn't work well in an outside setting.
For that reason, I'm sceptical about rumours of European outdoor shows for next summer. She'd be better off doing a lap of South American, Asian and Ozzie territories and wrapping it all up before her birthday.

I'll Remember is one of my fave 90s tracks from her. A real palette cleanser after all the filth of the previous few years! Gorgeous vocals, simple but relatable. The Guerrilla Beach remix is sublime, pure Orbit in all its watery-ness. Unlikely she'll do it on this tour after all these years, but it could be a wild card in giving that montage / retrospective emotional vibe if she wanted to...

More like SHE blew a fuse backstage!

I love the album as a collection of songs, just a great listen on an Autumn evening. One More Chance makes me ill though, she went a step too far into 90s balladering schmalz with that one.
One thing I never really got to the bottom of though, what was the deal with the different artworks for the back cover? Was there a reason? Which is the "real" version?

I imagine they'll add on a few NKM remixes onto it, maybe Love Profusion as well? Let's not believe they'll deliver what they should. They have form...

I can't see it in her spotify anywhere and I've closed it down and refreshed. Have they been on the wine for lunch and hit the 'send' button early?

They rush deleted the tweet instead...
